“How do you justify that? I mean, if you’re killing somebody or multiple people — attempted, how does that work?”

Buddy thinks Arizona is part of Israel?

Arizona has been temporarily occupied as a buffer zone to protect Israel from the expansionist state of Commiefornia. Settlements are to begin construction next week.

Germany has issued a statement condemning California for making this action necessary.

He seems to be using the word Israel in the very old fashioned way of saying it, which would mean people who worship the God of Abraham. It can also refer to Judaism broadly in that sense.

This guy seems to have believed Christianity is a divergent, but identical faith to Judaism but has been led astray by Christian pastors.

Christian evangelicals will say this is a sign of the second coming.

I'm appalled at the blatant antisemitism of the Hamas-aligned Arizona police. Israel has the right to defend itself!

"Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." (Lev. 19:28 NIV)

Tbf it is difficult to hear the voice of God over the screams of the people you are sacrificing. Kinda gets drowned out.

The weird thing is that this guy could be a nontrinitarian Christian:

Asked whether he was ever victimized by a Christian, he replied no, and said his family is Christian and that he had a good childhood.

He could be a Judaist, but the issue is that murder is one of the three cardinal sins that Judaists must never commit, even at risk of death, and even if the victim’s beliefs are totally at odds with Judaism. This does not eliminate the possibility, though. In any case, I can imagine this news leading to a growth in anti-Judaism.

Most Judaists in the "state" of Israel seem to be a-ok with murder, though
